Real world supercar running costs

[R8Reece]

After 5 1/2 years of ownership & 12,557 miles I've just sold my 2008 R8 V8 coupe.

Ignoring the fact it may or may not be a supercar, over the 66 months I owned her she cost me £24,245 all in which includes depreciation, petrol, MOT, serving, tax, parts, all maintenance, selling costs and breakdown cover.

This works out at £367 a month, £4,408 per year or £1.93 per mile.

How does that compare with other marques?

A sad day, Reece. Was that to pay for the wedding?

Jokes aside, I hope you enjoyed the years you owned it and at least you can say you've had one.

Thanks Trev and no, thankfully not for the wedding! Enjoyed every moment!

However time to move on and up, watch this space

My breath is baited.

Don’t get too excited - mortgage still needs to be paid and, as far as I’m aware, I haven’t won the lottery
